Free Flight Change Policies by Airlines Peter Thornton - January 26, 2021
Free Flight Change Policies by Airlines
When it comes to planning travel in 2021, flexibility is in high demand. With so much uncertainty on when borders will reopen and when vaccinations will become widespread, airlines have relaxed, or completely eliminated, one of the most annoying fees in the industry — the change fee.
Change Fee Waivers for U.S. Airlines
Airlines used to rake in hefty fees from travelers who simply wanted to change travel dates — sometimes up to a $750 fee for international flights. And when the major airlines introduced the dreaded “Basic Economy” fare, changes simply weren’t allowed.
The pandemic has changed the game and multiple U.S. airlines have decided to permanently eliminate change fees for flyers that purchase at least a standard Economy or Main Cabin Economy fare. While this is overall great news, the marketing is aimed to make consumers believe change fees are no more, but the truth is that the lowest available fares (Basic Economy) will still have restrictions on changes after the pandemic has passed.
For now, most airlines are allowing free flight changes on all tickets — even Basic Economy — but the exact policies vary by airline and the goal posts keep moving, so you’ll want to always double-check the fine print before you make a booking. Airlines will likely end these blanket free flight changes on all fares once travel picks up again, but if you’re fairly certain you’ll travel with a certain airline at some point in the future, booking a great fare for future travel poses little risk with these great no change fee policies.
Note: Even though change fees may be eliminated, keep in mind that a fare difference may still apply. For example, if the new fare is $100 more than you originally paid, you’ll have to pay $100, but won’t be charged an additional fee on top of that. If the fare is less, some airlines will issue a credit, while others will not.
Don’t Be a No-Show
Most airlines still have no-show policies (so you can’t simply just not show up for your flight and expect to be able to retain a flight credit for future use). Instead, make sure to make any changes to or cancel your itinerary by the day before departure, or at least before the required check-in time. Otherwise, the airline may cancel your trip and all remaining segments without issuing any flight credit.
Last, but certainly not least, if you are traveling to, from, or within the U.S., and the airline cancels your flight or makes a substantial schedule change, you are entitled to a refund.
